Nope, a lot of his wins DID age well.

Pacquiao went on to after the Floyd fight beat Bradley, Vargas, Matthysse and Thurman. Which fighter from 2016 on has a better resume than that? Can count on one hand for that and you still won't use all of your fingers. I'd say that win aged well, not to mention Pacquiao was P4P #2 fighter in the world at that time.

Canelo just a year later went on to beat Lara and then went on to beat GGG, Jacobs and Kovalev. I'd say that win aged well.

JMM showed he can compete at WW by his performances against Pacquiao and Bradley, but that win was what it was. Odds were actually closer than people think but he went back down to LW after the fight before making his way back up to WW.

Cotto had some nice performances post-Floyd against Martinez, Geale and even was solid against Canelo. Did get clearly beat by Trout and later Ali years later. But solid win for sure.

Funny how you mention he drained Canelo but then said cheated the scales of JMM. All he did was prevent JMM from draining him!!!!!!! See how that works?

You quoted me but I amended post too late, re-read it.
But you are right his wins aged well but don't mean they're great wins as they were cws or green, or not far removed coming off devastating ko loss and still gun shy, and a fight Floyd didn't look good in.
But it's true most who were deemed good before fighting Floyd disappeared soon after.

Floyd over manny became better over time because manny whooped Thurman.

Thurman was the top or top 2 welterweight I think

This win over manny could continue to get better. I think manny has enough left in the tank to beat any welter not named Crawford and Spence This year

Corrales and JLC also went into have great fights with each other after Floyd beat both

Floyd over Cotto doesn’t come to mind when win getting better over time is mentioned. Miguel became lineal MW champ by beating a shot Sergio, who got a hometown decision in his prior fight

Morales over manny

Morales caught manny right before manny started priming. Manny would prime shortly thereafter when he ko’d Morales in 3 rounds

Morales win over manny puts him comfortably ahead of his eternal rival Barrera

Mayweather-Alvarez went from a well-timed win over a strong, bigger, young opponent to having a damn good chance of being Mayweather's best win. Every Canelo fight just increases the prestige of that win.

Marquez over salido is a good shout. A couple that come to mind for me:

Roy Jones over Bernard Hopkins
Salvador Sanchez over Azumah Nelson
Margarito over Sergio Martinez
Andrey Kotelnik over Marcos Maidana
Freddie Norwood over Juan Manuel Marquez

Great shouts...

Usyk-Hunter is one, I remember thinking this was a step down from Glowacki and Mchunu.

Just stop with the Mayweather shilling man.

Pacquiao was already an ATG when Floyd beat him.

Cotto was already a great win.

Corrales and Castillo were both already established fighters.

I’m looking more for wins that got dramatically better. I’m not looking for a play by play on Mayweather’s resume.

In hindsight it’s possibly Mayweather’s best win.

At the time I thought it was a good win over a good champion but in hindsight he beat the one of the best fighters of the next generation.
